“No, not in a different sense, but I’ve never seen Julia. Is it a bit difficult to get tickets?”
“Well, then come along, just to see her face and quickly disappear.”
“Of course. Can’t you figure out that much?”
Derek also got up from his seat. Eric, who usually would keep his seat until the end, also stood up.
“Today, I decided to talk with my father. I’m sorry, but I have to leave now.”
“Don’t apologize. Family relationships are important, aren’t they?”
Belus jokingly smiled and demanded an answer from Jen. Jen nodded.
“Yes, family relationships are important.”
“Haha. Mr. Baker, you’re doing well even without a father.”
Belus burst into laughter and uttered rude words. Everyone present heard it, but no one showed an uncomfortable expression, not even Jen.
“Well then, let’s see each other later.”
As the three left, Belus comfortably leaned back on the sofa. He felt like taking a nap right now.
“If you’re sitting here because you’re worried about me being alone, it’s okay. I’m very comfortable right now.”
In a slow voice, Jen chuckled and said, “No, I was actually waiting for the two of them to leave.”
“Huh? Why?”
With a half-closed eye, Belus asked, blinking. Jen spoke quietly but firmly.
“At this point, it seems I’ve proven my abilities.”
Certainly, Jen’s smile didn’t seem much different from the first time they met, but for some reason, it looked arrogantly confident. Belus didn’t find it unpleasant.
“You invested in Baemsa.”
“Baem? The car company?”
“Yes.”
Belus smiled with narrowed eyes.
“No, didn’t you say it wasn’t worth investing in before?”
“Yes. To be precise, I said there wasn’t until now.”
Belus’s gaze sharpened. Right, Belus also found it strange when Jen said ‘until now’ at that time.
“But now it’s different?”
“Do you know that the World Expo will be held in three years?”
The World Expo, a festival of all countries and the largest event in the world, shaking the status of each nation. I don’t know how much effort the royal family, the parliament, and various companies put into this world expo.
“Gracian wants to present itself as an advanced country. So, wouldn’t it look quite convincing if cars were driving on the streets instead of carriages?”
“But buying a car is a personal choice, not a national one.”
“Yes. That’s why an interesting agenda will come up at the next quarter’s parliamentary meeting.”
Jen, who bowed his upper body, said quietly.
“Street beautification and improvement agenda for the World Expo.”
It was a very simple agenda.
“They will repair the roads leading to the expo venue. They will be firmer and smoother than now.”
They will also strengthen the enforcement of street beautification. To prevent damage to the landscape from dirt or odor caused by horses.
“We won’t specifically regulate carriages, but if that happens, it will be inconvenient to bring them out. And around that time, Baem will advertise heavily.”
“Don’t you find it bothersome to strengthen regulations?”
“Of course, that point will be emphasized, but they will also advertise it as a new luxury means of transportation that the world is paying attention to.”
Anyway, cars are luxury goods now. And the rich who buy luxury goods don’t care about convenience.
They choose things that satisfy their vanity. But for this luxury item to establish itself properly, it needs to be convenient, not just a momentary trend.
“Undoubtedly, it will become a trend and establish its position. And to reap the greatest benefits, one must invest when there is the least attention.”
“Hmm, is that so? But talking about the distant future doesn’t resonate with me much.”
In the investment world, three years might not be too far off, but anyway, it was a long time for Belus.
“Also, no matter how well a company is expected to do in the future, I don’t want to invest in a mediocre company right now. I have a strong sense of pride. I’m sure I’ll hear something from my brother.”
“Baem is still a steadily growing company.”
Jen extended a document envelope he had placed next to him to Belus. With a quite thick stack of documents, Belus raised an eyebrow and asked, “What’s this?”
“This is the investment proposal prepared by Baem. If you take a look, your mind will definitely change.”
“Haha!”
Suddenly, Belus grabbed his stomach and laughed loudly. The club members who were still in the club looked at him with puzzled faces. Whether to say something or not, after laughing for a while, Belus, who still had a composed posture, said to Jen.
“Why are you so concerned about Baem? If you invest in me, I’ll give you as much as you want.”
“No way.”
“Then why?”
Belus’s blue eyes twinkled. His face, where the laughter had disappeared, was endlessly cool, but Jen wasn’t flustered.
“I just want to be of help to Delta-nim.”
“Why?”
“Because Delta-nim is special. Special enough to catch my eye.”
Belus prided himself on knowing people. Right now, Jen, who was smiling warmly, looked like a crafty snake. But this snake speaks very well. Enough to want to associate with him.
He even found him boring. And if things go well, he might surprise his father or brother.
“Well, how about spending some time together?”
Belus smiled, narrowing his eyes. Jen spoke with his beautiful lips.
“I won’t disappoint you.”
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
